Now that’s ironic, part one
Blogger saves posts in a cookie as you type (a feature bug-workaround I swear Ev first did years ago, when we walked uphill both directions in the snow to post, only to get a NullPointerException, though old Blogger news is virtually unfindable), then pulls the feature because it’s buggy. Some weeks, you can’t win.
Given the constraints on cookie size, I would imagine that kind of thing could end up angering as many people as it saves. (Do late-model browsers still enforce cookie size restrictions?)
I’ve got a ”posting protection” pref to cover that sort of thing, which just toggles a target=”_blank” on the posting form. Low-tech, but it gets the job done for those who need it. Meanwhile, I encourage my peeps to install Scribe for Firefox and sidestep the issue entirely.
